I guess it was not a celebration of resisting good change in Madison and promoting narrow minded conservatism. I am sure in the not so distant future we will see Stu hanging out at the Edgewater enjoying himself. Maybe he will acknowledge that he was wrong? My guess is that he won't.

Not at all. He modestly stayed away so as not to draw attention to the fact that he was right to deny them the TIF money they sought. And didn't need, even though they claimed the project would die without it.

I seem to remember that the ground breaking for the Monona terrace kind of just happened w/o opulent fan fare as well. Although, I better buy a boat to cleat off if I want to properly enjoy this difficult to access corner of Madison. Whatever, good on them they found a way to support from the commons other than TIFF.
